Fred Allen was born in Tupton
on 16th May 1909. He was the son of William and Mary Allen. The 1911 Census
shows him residing at 6 Springwell Terrace, New Tupton (I believe they may be
the same place). William Allen was a coal miner (deputy) as was two of his
sons. The young Fred also had a sister. Fred also became a miner and was
residing at Tapton, near Chesterfield when he joined the RA (Tapton is a
different village near Tupton!). He attested at Derby on 2nd January 1928 for 3
years regular service and 9 on the reserve. His RA career was short lived. He
was discharged on 12th January 1928 under King's Regulations Para 363 (VI) (a).
He joined the Royal Corps of Signals (TA) on 13th May 1935, and agree I
'Signalman' it is. It appears he died in Chesterfield in 1982. £50

Sutton Publishing. (Subject: World War II - General) Major D'Arcy Mander
was awarded a DSO in 1944 for espionage work which he carried out in Rome following his escape
from captivity. Mander had been captured while serving with the Green Howards
in the WesternDesert,
and flown to Italy.
Mander accepted captivity for a while, putting his time to good use by learning
Italian. In 1943 he escaped from a prisoner-of-war train in northern Italy and, adopting the alias Pietro Bartoli, he
proceeded to walk to Rome.
The city was under German occupation and Mander decided to set up his own
